(b) Thirty dollars if the record is communicated in writing and consists of more than 2 pages;

(c) Ten dollars if the record is communicated by another medium authorized by filing-office rule; and

(2) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (5) and (6), the fee for filing and indexing an initial financing statement of the kind described in section 9-1515, subsection (2) is:

(a) Sixty dollars if the financing statement indicates that it is filed in connection with a public-finance transaction and if the record is communicated in writing. Thirty dollars if the record is communicated by another medium authorized by filing-office rule; and

(b) Forty dollars if the financing statement indicates that it is filed in connection with a manufactured-home transaction and if the record is communicated in writing. Twenty dollars if the record is communicated by another medium authorized by filing-office rule.

(3) The number of names required to be indexed does not affect the amount of the fee in subsections (1) and (2).

(4) The fee for responding to a request for information from the filing office, including for communicating whether there is on file any financing statement naming a particular debtor, is:

(a) Twenty dollars if the request is communicated in writing; and

(5) This section does not require a fee with respect to a record of a mortgage that is effective as a financing statement recorded as a fixture filing or as a financing statement covering as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut under section 9-1502, subsection (3). However, the recording and satisfaction fees that otherwise would be applicable to the record of the mortgage apply.
